Quiet Progress: A Father's Fourteen-Year Journey Through His Son's Clubbed Feet

When his son Zaid was born with bilateral clubbed feet, Zahid Haque had no roadmap. What followed were fourteen years of casts, braces, surgeries, and setbacks, and something no doctor could have prescribed: faith, stubbornness, and a father's refusal to give up.Quiet Progress is the story of an ordinary family navigating an extraordinary challenge. From the first casting sessions to the hallways of the Houston Shriners Hospital, from sleepless nights to the day Zaid laced up his first pair of Air Jordans and walked out the door like any other kid, this memoir traces a journey measured not in milestones but in the quiet, unglamorous persistence that real healing requires.This is not a story of a miracle cure. It is a story of showing up, again and again, for your child, for your faith, and for the life you never expected to be living.For every parent who has ever sat in a specialist's waiting room and wondered if things would ever be okay: they can be.
